Figure 4S-4. Schematic block diagram (looking SE) showing the tectonic and sedimentary framework for early (Miocene) post-rift basin development and its influence on facies distributions. It is believed that similar facies variation prevailed in the offshore realm. Support for this notion comes from the existence of the prominent fan shaped bodies in the syn- to early post-rift sequences imaged on the seismic data from the neighbouring Gulf of Lion.
